Retrieve configuration

Retrieve configuration

The retrieve operation retrieves the FortiGate configuration and stores it in the device database on FortiManager.

The policy package is not updated when you retrieve a FortiGate configuration.

Tooltip

If you make a change locally on the FortiGate, and then retrieve the FortiGate configuration, the change is stored in the database. However, if a policy also includes the same setting, the setting from the policy overwrites the setting on the FortiGate the next time that the policy package is installed.
